Intuitive graphical user interface for simplified workflow
	Automated startup, shutdown, and routine maintenance operations
	Enhanced data analysis and report generation capabilities
	21 CFR Part 11 ready
	Automation and LIS connectivity

	Modular & Flexible xPONENT 3.1 is a modular, flexible, software package for  control the Luminex 100/200 platform.   Designed for ease-of-use, the software allows the novice or occasional user and advanced user alike, to set up and run an assay in a minimal amount of time.
	User Customization xPONENT’s graphical user interface follows the typical assay workflow but can be customized to meet the needs of the specific laboratory.  Use of navigation wizards and automation of routine operations such as startup, shutdown, calibration and performance verification, further enhance system usability and result in increased walk-away time.   xPONENT software also enables the use of automation-friendly magnetic MagPlex® microspheres for increased workflow efficiency.
	Powerful Data Analysis xPONENT offers industry standard curve fitting models for quantitative analysis, allelic ratios for  genotyping,  and qualitative algorithms for immunology assays as well as data visualization tools.   The software can also be configured to automatically launch third party data analysis programs for advanced statistical data analysis

Software Configurations
xPONENT software is available with three levels of accessibility:

Basic
The basic xPONENT software package allows the user to acquire samples, perform analysis, and run system maintenance routines and remote web monitoring.  This package includes the ability to calculate allelic ratios to analyze and/or normalize genotyping data. 

Secure
The secure xPONENT package includes all the basic functionality, plus allows an administrator to set up user access levels.

21 CFR Part 11
For laboratories working under the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 regulations, xPONENT offers multilevel user management, full audit trail, electronic records and electronic signatures.

In addition to the access levels listed above, there are two additional licensable modules that add specific functions:

Automation Connectivity
The automation module along with a device driver enables communication between the reader and a front end automation platform.  Luminex device drivers are offered by many automation providers.  For more information on available drivers please contact Luminex Technical Support.

LIS Connectivity
This module allows communication with an external Laboratory Information System (LIS) database by allowing the export of patient result data and the import of patient sample information in ASTM format.  Connection to your LIS system may require the use of middleware.  For more information on middleware solutions please contact Luminex Technical Support.
